Scam Alert – Phishing Emails That Appear To Be From Major Banks
Phishing emails purporting to be from major national banks such as Wells Fargo and
Bank of America are on the rise, so please be extra vigilant when going through your
inbox. These fraudulent emails may look remarkably like ones from your bank and
contain alerts about frozen accounts or unusual activity – messages created to frighten
you into clicking on a link in the email to correct the issue. Users who did click on such
links have had money stolen from their bank accounts.
Don't fall victim to these phishing scams. It's safest to never click on a link in an email
that claims to be from your bank. If you get a message that looks even vaguely real,
it's much better to open a browser window and type in the URL of your bank's home
page and log in as normal.

This Month's FAQ – What Does It Mean That Microsoft Is "Killing" Windows XP?
Question: I heard that Microsoft is "killing"
Windows XP, which has me concerned since I
still run it. What does all this mean exactly?
Answer: First of all, you're certainly not
alone in your preference for the tried-andtrue Windows XP. There are an estimated
500 million people around the world who still
rely on Windows XP to perform their daily
computing chores.
What's happening with Windows XP is this:
Page 3 of 6
Support for Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 ends April 8, 2014. After that
date, there will be no new security updates, non-security hotfixes, free or paid assisted
support options, or online technical content updates. Running Windows XP SP3 and
Office 2003 in your environment after Microsoft's support ends may expose your
computer to security risks.
Microsoft strongly recommends you get current with Windows and Office. For complete
details including instructions for moving to Windows 7 or Windows 8, visit
www.microsoft.com.

Short Tutorial – How To Block Third-Party Cookies From Your Browser
In the computer world, cookies are small files that
carry information from one session on a site to
another or between sessions on related sites. Some
cookies are called third-party cookies because they
come from a site other than the one you're visiting —
often from an advertiser that buys Google Ads.
Advertisers buy space on many sites so they can use cookies to see your traffic habits
and learn your likes or dislikes. All of this happens independently of the site you're
actually visiting.
If this practice raises privacy concerns for you, you'll be pleased to know that each
browser has a way to block third-party cookies:
Internet Explore
Click the wrench in the top-right corner and then "Internet Options." Go to the
Privacy tab and click "Advanced." Check the box that says "Override automatic
cookie handling" and then click Block under third-party cookies.
Firefox
Click on Firefox on the menubar at the top left corner. Go to the Privacy tab and
under History, select Use Custom Settings for History where it says "Firefox will."
Then, uncheck "Accept third-party cookies."
Chrome
Click the three-lined icon in the top right corner of the window. Click "show
advanced settings" and then Content settings in the Privacy menu. Choose to
block third-party cookies and site data.
Safari
Go to Preferences in the drop-down menu, click on the "Privacy" icon, and select
"From third parties and advertisers" in the "Block cookies" section.
